Title of the Event: “From Liberation to Censorship: Does Modern Feminism Have a Problem with Free Speech?” While this happened on the other side of the Atlantic, we have already seen enough craziness on American campuses (like Oberlin, for example) to know that this could easily happen here and probably has happened. The headline at Reason.com spells out the irony: “British Students Ban Feminist Writer Julie Bindel From Panel on Feminism’s Free Speech Problem.” The Manchester Students’ Union Read more […]

If an Islamic baby name is more popular than any other name for new children, what can we expect in the next generation in England? It is pretty interesting that the headline gives the reader no indication of the content of the story: “Amelia and Oliver top 62,000 DIFFERENT baby names in Britain.” The subhead was quite misleading: “PARENTS chose 62,000 different names for babies born last year as Britain becomes ever more multicultural, research revealed today.” The story doesn’t Read more […]

Using the excuse of an anti-terrorism program, UK education alerts teachers to children who view homosexual activity as wrong. You can say to yourself that this is only happening in Britain and not here. But it is certainly going to happen here and it probably already is happening. The only difference is the plans and programs are still hidden. Does anyone seriously think there isn’t a government database of all the Facebook profiles that refused to post rainbow images in celebration of the Read more […]

England’s system of socialist medicine is using overworked doctors who are required to fill more and more overtime. Here is an interesting story from England’s The Independent showing where our own country is headed: “NHS hospitals pushing young medics to brink of ‘burnout’ by relying on them to work extra hours.” Hospitals are pushing young medics to the brink of “burnout” by relying on them to work extra hours to plug long-term gaps in ward rotas, leading doctors have warned, after Read more […]

When the Roman Catholic Church is accused of permitting child rape, the Left goes into a self-righteous frenzy. Maybe all you Liberals should do some soul searching as the story is broken about Rotherham, a town in northern England with a population of little more than a quarter million. 1,400 children were abused—including many serious rapes, group rapes, and threats (like being doused with gasoline and threatened with a match)—between 1997 and 2013. That’s what a government report Read more […]

Great Britain has strict gun control laws. Advocates of gun control believe that these laws cut down on violence and crime. Such laws only empower lawbreakers. Gun homicides were low in the United Kingdom even before gun control laws went into effect. This does not mean that there hasn’t been any gun violence since these laws went into effect in 1977. “Over the course of a few days in the summer of 2001, gun-toting men burst into an English court and freed two defendants; a shooting outside a Read more […]

I’ll give Piers Morgan credit for one thing: He’s not afraid to interview people who have strong disagreements with him. He’s giving them a platform for views that rarely see the light of day on liberal networks. He had Alex Jones of InfoWars on a few nights ago. While Jones was a little over the top, he didn’t roll over for Morgan. Too many conservatives want to be friends with the media as if their agreeable style will somehow endear them to the liberal media establishment. It will never, Read more […]
